Be it known that 1, JOHN DEEBLE, of Plantsville, in the county ofHartford and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement inDies for Forging OX-Shoes; and I do hereby declare the following, whentaken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the letters ofreference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification,and represent, in-- Figure 1, a perspective view of the blanking- (lie;Fig; 2, the blanks; Fig. 3, the lower shaping-dies; Fig. 4, thecorresponding upper dies; Fig. 5, the finishing-die.

This invention relates to an improvement in dies for the manufacture ofox-shoes; and consists in the series of dies, as hereinafter described,by which the blank is cut from the bar, the shoe shaped and finishedwithout waste of material.

A, Fig. 1, is the blanking-die, through which a perforation, a b, isformed, in length corresponding to the blank to be produced, the portionb half the width of the other portion a. A punch is formed to correspondto this die, so that the blank bar, Fig. 2, laid upon this die at E,Fig. 3.

will be cut, as denoted by the line 0 d. The bar is rolled at therequired width for this die, and by thus cutting the blank no wastefollows. This blank is then placed into a cavity or part, B, of the dieC, lying edgewise. Onto this a projection, D, on the upper portion E ofthe die is struck, and bends the blank, as seen From this thepartially-formed shoe F is removed, and the two ends laid into thenotches c f, over a cavity, Cr, in the die C,

and a corresponding projection, H, on the other part E of the diebrought down thereon, forcing the partially-formed shoe into the cavityG, and turning up the calk at the toe and heel. This blank is thenplaced in the finishing-die L, in which a cavity, N, corresponds to theout or under side of the shoe, with projections to form the groove andindicate or form the perforations for the nails, as seen in Fig. 5. Thepartially-formed shoe placed in this die is struck with the flat surfaceupon the upper side, completing the shoe ready for use.

I claim as my invention- The series of dies A C E L, as hereindescribed, for the manufacture of ox-shoes.
